f HAT THEY THINK
PROFESSORS AND STUDENTS ON
REMOVAL OF NEWSPAPERS.
General Disapproval of the Board's
Action Librarian Jewett
Explalnsr"
"Comment on the action or the
Library Board in removing tho news
papers from the Library reading room
Has been very general on the campus
for tho past two days. Opinions have
been -freely expressed on the matter
rind: the balance of sentiment seems to'
condpihn- the action of tho Board.
NFeellng that the opinion of represent
tatlvo University professors and stu
dents might bo of interest to Nebras
kan 'readers- several interviews wero
socufed with, tho following results:
"It is an important circumstance,
indeed," said tWhead professor of ono
department, "if access lo the dally
papers 1b denied to the students of
the University. Whether the Library
reading room or the room of the State
Historical Society is tho proper place
for these periodicals Is a question, but
in no way should access to them by
the Btudents be barred."
Another professor said, "There are
courses given by our department
which requiro the reading of the dally
papers and any action which hinders
Oiv prevents the students taking these
courses to them will be a soriouB nan
ilicapoth to the students, and to us."
SaTdTa Sehioi', "Yes, they, tell us we
can read them in tho Historical room
but who wants to run down there
Jvery time he feels llkd reading a paper?-
And, too, at the hours when.
onocan best spare tho time for read
ing tho daHies, early in tho morning
and' immediately after lunch and dln
nor, tho Historical Library is closod.
A. third reason why I am opposed to
tho change is that tho accommodations
in the Historical rooms aro so crowd
ed "that a man doesn't stand ono show
in ten of getting tho Lincoln papers
when ho goes down there."
A co-ed responded as follows: "But,
how am I tqgot the home news if
they take away tho papers? Does
every student bavo to subscribe for
her own paper? I just wish I wore tho
Librarian." ,
. Librarian Jewott is inclined to smile
utrthe protests that have como to his
ears. "The chief trouble lies in tho
iact that most people have a'mlscon
coptlon of tho truo-inir-pose of a Uni
versity library," said ho when the mat?
tor was brought to his attention. "The
TeadlngToom Is for reference purposes
;Bololy. Students are not supposed to
come to tho Library for any reason
except to uso tho references to bo
found on tho shelves. Wo realize that
.betwdeh classes 'in the daytime tlioro
is sbmo roason for using tho room
for. general study since wo have no
dormitories and the rooms of tho stu
dents, are "widely scattored, but In tho
evening there Js not even this excuse,
"Students', are not supposed" to bring
toxt books into' the , reading room,
cither,, .unless they aro- to bo used
conjointly with the references, The
Library- is ,'jibt a general , study hall
.and 'should not lie so .used."

libraries to display the daily papors," j
continued tho Librarlnn. "Newspapers
are in no sense literature, nor do" they
give tho fair and impartial survey oT
curront events to bo found in the week
ly and monthly periodicals devoted to
tho purpose The value of a local
paper is in no -wise disputed, but the
Library Board cannot see that it is
their business to provide them."
When questioned regarding the. uso
of the papers that have been coming
to the Library, Mr. Jewett said, "Until
tho subscriptions that wo have now
shall expire tho papers will go to the
Rhetoric department for the class in
Journalism. After that no papers will
bo taken without being charged diroct
to tho department of Rhetoric. Any
other department could obtaj)i papers
in the same way if it so desired.- Tho
Library Board has not enough money
to consistently furnish papers to the
roading room, oven if it wore desirable
from any other standpoint. It is true
that a very small percentage "of the
papors received have been donated,
but this has not been general enough
for any practical benefit."

GOPHER OPINION
HOW MINNESOTA CONSIDERS THE
CONTEST TO-MORROW.
Athletic Editor of Minnesota Dally
Throws Interesting Light on
Subject.
Tho Nobroskan Is in receipt of a loti
lor from Minnesota, in which a great
deal of interesting information is glY
on. From tho gonornl tono of tho com
munlcatlon, It scorns that tho Gonlior
aro by no means suro of stamping us
with a largo scoro. Instead of that,
thoy seem to look forward to a hard
ganioand are practising diligontly for
tho coming contest
Thho athletic oditoV of Tho Minne

Practlco on Nortlirop FJold has boon
socrotfor tho past fow wqoks and so
it is Impossible to got a lino upon, tho
team from anything other than last
Saturday's gamo.
Minnesota has boon practising hard
all week for tho .Nebraska gamo and
is by no means ovorconfldont bocauso
of tho scoro of the Nebraska-Ames con
test and tho deciBivo mnnnor In which
sho ndmlnistored defeat to Amos. ""-
Both tho student body and tho Go
pher tonm realize that tho Nobraska
eleven has boon materially strength
ened since the. Amos contest, and, ro-
momborlng tho form that tho Corn-
huskors havo-shown in previous yoars?
whon Nebrnska was Just air likely as
jiot to tako away the long end of-tho
scoro, and sometimes did, thoy always"
regard tho .Nebraska game as ono thoy

students that this happy condition will
continue, They hopo that all gamos
between tho two Institutions, and es
pecially the ono this year will bo as
clean and sportsmanllko as was the
play in tho contest of last year.
Innesota's team is composed of vet
oran players for tho most partmon
who havo playod at least a year on
Minnesota's eloyen. Snyder, at 'tho
end and Robertson at Toft playod their
first gamo on Minnesota's team last
Saturday, Thoy aro strong playors
but oven at that aro hard pushed by
other aspirants for their positions. Tho
other men on tho team with1 ono or two
exceptions aro well known in western
football and aro regarded ai poworful
playors in thelruposltions,
Minnesota is by ,no moans at top
form now and displayed. in her game
against Ames ji crudeness which-was
only pardonable" because it told of
a groat development to come. Whon
Nebraska comes the Gophers will ap
pear with much moro polish and the
contest can bo counted upon to bo a
gamo worth going many miles to see.
All visitors from Nebraska will bo
cordially velcomed at Minnesota and
it is the hopo hero that a largo num
